Feeling isolated and like I'm failing at everything

Work sucks, kids are acting out, wife and I barely talk anymore, and I haven't seen any of my friends in months. I know I should reach out but I feel like such a burden. What's the point? Been having these thoughts more and more and I'm scared. I don't know how to climb out of this hole anymore.

I hear you on the isolation spiral. That feeling of being underwater at work and home at the same time is brutal. Even reaching out to one friend could help break the cycle.

The fact that you're recognizing this pattern means you're not actually failing like you think you are. One small thing this week, like texting a friend or having one real conversation with your wife, can shift things.
